Dinosaur ClawRaptor (undetermined)CretaceousUtah, USA

This serious Dinosaur foot (toe) claw is believed to be from Utah
and has an exceptional shape and form. The toe claws tend to have a
more rounded design. While many specimens turning up on the market
come from localities outside North America, Dinosaur material from
the Western United States is rare and quite prized. This claw is in
fine condition with only limited repair visible on one side. The
claw has a strong curvature indicative of its true purpose.
Dinosaur claws on the market are even rarer than teeth and bones,
given the limited numbers relative to the others. This is a truly
imposing piece and has all of the elements any collector should
want in a raptor claw. At 3.6 inches (9.1 cm) along the curve, it
is not small, and envisioning its use in life is a frightening
proposition.Overall Measurements: 3.6 x 1.4 x 0.9 inches (9.1 x 3.5 x 2.3
cm)Offered at no reserve.
